Tasting Notes ForCristom Eileen Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018
In 2018, the Pinot Noir vines got off to a warm and dry start with the earliest budbreak (March!) ever recorded at our estate a full 3 weeks earlier than our twenty-five-year average. Warmth continued through spring, leading to bloom beginning in most blocks at the end of May also the earliest ever recorded at the estate. The warm, dry weather during flowering was prime for yielding a heavy fruit set, and the vineyard produced sizeable clusters with large berries. These ideal growing conditions created the rare combination of abundant quantity and exceptional quality fruit, producing intensely fragrant and energetic wines that show a blend of depth, concentration and nuance.
